    PRJ? im new to the gtp world I assume he has a shop. But yea im an hour and a half from indy that i would like to get in touch with him.

    -More background of car The car spent a lot of time in a garage the past 2 years as it was mainly a show car and the guy upgraded to a g8. The guy I bought it from was my best friends co-worker. It has ALOT of suspension and brake work, I estimated he put about 10k of aftermarket parts on it. I only paid 3600 and got extra supercharger GEN3 extra hood and 2 sets of custom wheels.

    - previous owner also told me last time it was tuned there was 1-2*kr and he had it tuned back some, however he thinks it was false due to engine mounts.

    I really want to get this thing running right and im not opposed to spending some hard earned money to do it.

    Should I go ahead and get the aeroforce now if I plan to have it checked out by prj?

    You should buy a Aeroforce now to scan for knock before you kiss a piston goodbye...meanwhile I suggest you drive like a grandma and don't beat on the car until you can scan.

    I would also have prj check it out for you. You bought a modify car without really knowing it so there's is no telling what could of been done and the owner may or may not of told you the 100% truth.

    Assuming it probably has a MPS hub on it I would also suggest buying a larger pulley meanwhile till you solve your issues like a stock sized 3.8
